My Grandpa
I never got to give you a hug
before an angel took your hand and gave you a tug
I never got to give you a kiss
before you made your final wish
I never got to tell you I love you
before you disappeared into the sky so blue
I never got to tell you Goodbye
all these things I wish I did whether by choice or fate
I was too late.
I love you Grandpa.
I remember all the good times we had.
Grandpa was the best
Sending Condolences to all the family and friends

Though i haven't seen you for a long time I will never forget working with you at Rig Cementing during those boom times in the early 80's where 24 hr call , 80 + hrs a week , and spending all night working or waiting in the middle of nowhere were normal .
